Ken Klabunde is a historian who lives in Easton, PA. He was a manager of the State Theatre in the 1970's and 80's. Closing up the theatre one night, he saw someone walk off the empty stage and later recognized the same man from a photograph. That man was J. FrEd Osterstock who had passed away in the 1950's - Fred, the Ghost.
